Life begins. Through some hardship and barriers, the evolution of a woman with a powerful platform, who has traveled the world, encouraging and uplifting women, is revealed. Sorry not sorry. As marital bliss evolves into unimaginable truths, the ultimate betrayal sends everything into a tailspin. In addition to that, there's a life-changing detour, a generational struggle that has been revealed, whorish spirits. From happiness to heartbreak, an emotional roller coaster, and now a reaffirmed victory. Staying focused on your faith and enduring every turmoil to become "more than a survivor"! This journey ends with a new beginning because of a better understanding.

Imagine living more blessed than you had sense enough to dream, only to get a revelation eight years later that your living is in vain because it's not for God's glory. So you act upon this revelation and surrender to God, forsaking the things of the world to live a life committed to Christ. And although there have been many struggles and disappointments, you have never regretted your decision to live for God, and you're fully committed and loving your walk with Jesus. Nothing makes you feel better than knowing you are walking according to His will. Then all of a sudden, you find yourself in a world of sin--sin that you never had a desire for and don't have a clue as to how you got there. And now you're in the fight of your life to overcome because, regardless of your newfound weakness, your heart belongs to God and your greatest desire is still to live a life pleasing to Him. This is a true story of Chinnita Morris' walk with Christ gone awry and her relentless passion and fight to overcome the tactics of her worst enemy, the devil. Little did she know that what the enemy tried to use to destroy her, God would use to raise a much more spiritually mature woman who would be bold enough to share her testimony to help many who may be in the same or similar situations and to warn others about seducing spirits.

A wise, uplifting memoir about a rabbi’s search for understanding and his discovery of hope and joy after his young son suffered a catastrophic brain-stem stroke: “Deeply moving, extraordinarily thought-provoking, and entirely humane” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). As a young, ambitious rabbi at one of New York’s largest synagogues, Charles Sherman had high expectations for what his future would hold—a happy and healthy family, professional success, and recognition. Then, early one morning in 1986, everything changed. His son Eyal spiked a fever and was soon in serious respiratory distress. Doctors discovered a lesion on the four-year-old’s brain stem. Following high-risk surgery, Eyal suffered a stroke. Sherman and his wife later learned that their son would never walk, talk, feed himself, or breathe on his own again—yet his mind was entirely intact. He was still the curious, intelligent boy they had always known. The ground had shifted beneath the Sherman family’s feet, yet over the next thirty years, they were able to find comfort, pleasure, and courage in one another, their community, their faith, and in the love they shared. The experience pointed Rabbi Sherman toward the answers of some of life’s biggest questions: To what lengths should parents go to protect their children? How can we maintain faith in God when tragedy occurs? Is it possible to experience joy alongside continuing heartbreak? Now, with deep insight, refreshing honesty, humor, and intelligence, Charles Sherman reflects back on his life and describes his struggle to address and ultimately answer these questions. The Broken and the Whole “inspirationally sets forth how to survive in the face of calamity” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) beautifully showing what it means to embrace life after everything you’ve known has been shattered to pieces.

Isaiah was Samuel's and Samuel was Isaiah's. That was the way it was since the beginning, and the way it was to be until the end. In the barn they tended to the animals, but also to each other, transforming the hollowed-out shed into a place of human refuge, a source of intimacy and hope in a world ruled by vicious masters. But when an older man—a fellow slave—seeks to gain favor by preaching the master's gospel on the plantation, the enslaved begin to turn on their own. Isaiah and Samuel's love, which was once so simple, is seen as sinful and a clear danger to the plantation's harmony. With a lyricism reminiscent of Toni Morrison, Robert Jones, Jr., fiercely summons the voices of slaver and enslaved alike, from Isaiah and Samuel to the calculating slave master to the long line of women that surround them, women who have carried the soul of the plantation on their shoulders. As tensions build and the weight of centuries—of ancestors and future generations to come—culminates in a climactic reckoning, The Prophets fearlessly reveals the pain and suffering of inheritance, but is also shot through with hope, beauty, and truth, portraying the enormous, heroic power of love.

Saying goodbye is never easy. Burying a loved one can be unbearable. I’d never have imagined witnessing so many losses within my lifetime. There have been so many tragedies. We are living in trying times, where lives are being lost daily. Many families are destroyed by grief. Bearing loss after loss leaves one with many unanswered questions. How do I cope? How do I move on? The answer is through God’s Divine Comfort. Divine Comfort For The Wounded Soul was birthed from my losses and tragedies. I want to speak to every wounded soul that has lost a parent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, grandparent, spouse, child, leader, pastor, cousin, friend, or simply a loved one. Maybe you lost a loved one to divorce or an addiction. You might find yourself at a loss for words. Maybe you’ve become overtaken with grief and feel like there is no reason to continue living. Regardless of the cause, my heart is with you. I want to bring awareness to the different stages of grief. In no moment am I saying that going through the stages of grief will bring healing or comfort to the wounded soul. But God can. Avoiding the stages and allowing grief to consume you will keep you bonded. This book details how I coped with my grief. The true purpose is to help bring hope to those that need it. I also want to bring honor to the Healer, Jesus Christ. He healed my wounded spirit and carried me through. He became my Friend and Divine Comforter. He walks by my side throughout my pain. During my moments of loneliness and questioning, He helped me through my grief process. His Word lifted me. God's ultimate love and compassion for the wounded soul is the remedy. My grief almost destroyed me, but God saved me. He can save you too. God is always available to help in the grief process. We just need to allow Him to do so. I pray this book helps, even if it’s just a little.
